Editor's note: President Xi Jinping will chair the 2018 Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation scheduled to be held from Sept 3 to 4 in Beijing. Themed on "China and Africa: Toward an Even Stronger Community with a Shared Future through Win-Win Cooperation," the summit aims to build closer China-Africa community of shared future, further dovetail the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative with African development, set a new path for a higher level of China-Africa cooperation, and deepen people-to-people exchanges.
Known as the Gold Coast and home of cocoa, Ghana, a country in the north of West Africa’s Gulf of Guinea, attracts wide attention from Africa and the world for its unique scenery, rich resources, hospitable people and diverse culture. China and Ghana, in recent years, have maintained close high-level exchanges and strengthened political mutual trust.
The eagerly awaited Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) is expected to raise the curtain in this golden autumn, during which Chinese and African leaders will gather in Beijing to draw a new blueprint for China-Africa friendly cooperation in the new era under the theme of "China and Africa: Toward an Even Stronger Community with a Shared Future through Win-Win Cooperation". Over the past four years after assuming office as Chinese Ambassador to Guinea, I have been impressed by the rich connotation and thriving vitality of a community of common destiny between China and Guinea, as well as the broad prospects of bilateral win-win cooperation.
